Taking over project

Anyone got any pointers on taking over code from another consultant? I have
some ASP.NET code, some assemblies with the projects to build the dlls in
the bin folder, and all the code and pages that are on the production
server. Now I am going to have to set up the development environment. This
does not look as simple as opening the project in VS.NET or is it?

Hi Ron,

You might find it faster to create your own project in VS.NET and start
dropping the other person's .aspx and .vb files in it. See if you can get it
to build before you make any changes.

Although you can sometimes open someone else's solution or project, there
are usually path changes and Web site configuration setting that don't match
up. You spend more time trying to make it work than you would creating your
own project and copying the files.

I'm having a weird problem now on a machine when I'm working on a project from a web server and when I rebuild that solution the coding changes do not take affect. Any changes to the .ASPX file work fine it's the changes to the .cs files that are not having any affect. I can go to another machine and refresh the project and rebuild and the changes I did on the other machine then take affect. it's like the compiled code is not being...

Hello everyone! I am having a frustrating problem. I have an asp.net project in visual studio.

Hi, In creating an email client, we are trying to allow users to pick and choose their email templates and photo stocks. We thought it'd be very 2006 to show a gallery of thumbnails. Is this a quick .NET Framework call in 2.0 or 1.1? Here are the requirements in my mind: * Max width and Max height configurable. * As well rendered as possible when shrinking. Let us set quality. I'll do the shrinking myself, that's okay.

Hey, I have a question for you web devs out there. How much of a hassle is it to take over where another programmer left off. I have a commerce site that was designed to my specs and I approached the company to do some upgrade work on it. However, I'm canceling the project with them because they are basically accusing me of scope creeping even though my specifications clearly define the features I am asking them to correct. I asked them...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
